Seagate Backup Plus Portable 4TB External Hard Drive HDD- Black USB 3.0 for PC Laptop and Mac, 2 Months Adobe CC Photography (STDR4000100)

I have bought several of these when the price was right and they all work well.

I did prefer the earlier models which were smaller.

Found 4TB was perfect size to backup all 5 of my computers on the single device and still have 1TB left for the future.

A gift for my son but he loves it!!!

Work Well. Easy to setup and utilize

This drive meets all my needs and more at a great price.

It really works for my PS4 and I got it for a good price too. Now I can storage all my game and still have space in the future for more!

I've been using this device for about a month, doing weekly backups on about 1.5 TB of files. So far it's been quietly doing its job, and the backup are happening as set up. Very happy with it.

I've had a few generations of these drives, this one seems fine. Software setup was easy, but it didn't recognize the old application, so had to clean that up. Seems like a good unit so far, older drives are also still working for me, so good reliability for the brand.

I haven't owned this drive long, yet it has performed well on first test. Had difficulty using the backup that came with the drive. I have 3TB to backup and after leaving it overnight, it was in the exact place as when I started the backup and nothing had been written to the drive yet. I went back to the old style backup and just copied the directories I want backed up. The drive has been working hard backing up 2 computers and I am now backing up that combined backup to a second 4TB drive I purchased at the same time. I do wish I could find a drive that has backup software that works on large drives like these...thus the 3 stars. The drive itself is 5 starts.

At first, I loved it; got one for the computer and the X-box. I could store anything on it and the pie chart barely moved. But then, one day, it started making this whirring noise. That worried me. I unplugged it, waited a while, then tried it again. It was still there and the computer couldn't find the hard drive. It no longer existed. I'm a writer and the one for the computer had 30 years of writing on it (some things as far back as the early 2000s) - many projects; over 100 works in progress, and 4 FINISHED novels that were in the final reading stage (right before publishing) - pictures that are irreplaceable just gone, and home movies that cannot be remade. The computer one went first but both of them stop working at dang-flippity near the same time. Geek Squad said it will cost up to $1,500 (maybe more) to get anything off it and that Seagate is famous for that. I wish someone would've told ME about that before I trusted this brand! Don't buy it. Mine lasted for about three months and I wished to shuckapoockie that I had gone with a more expensive brand. Supposedly, when the flooding happened in China, a bunch of warehouses suffered. Could that be that reason? Why would they sell something they know will stop working? Money, why else? Who knows why they stopped working, but I lost a lot... and I do mean a LOT of irreplaceable stuff. The Xbox games that were lost, no biggie, but my blood sweat and tears of writing for THIRTY years? Devastating. It's like losing a pet. Do not trust Seagate. If you do... at least email yourself the stuff you put on it too. I wish I had.
